Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it discloses very little. It does not say whether status changes are reversible, whether transitions are restricted (e.g. can 'closed' go back to 'open'), whether permissions are required, or whether side effects like notifications occur. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage this is a significant gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler. The parenthetical examples are slightly redundant against the enum but stay brief and aid quick scanning.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a two-parameter mutation with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the core action but omits anything about valid transitions, return value, or side effects. Adequate to invoke, but thin for a state-changing tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with a required id and an enumerated status field, so the schema already documents both parameters fully. The description's examples ('planned, in_progress, completed') merely restate a subset of the enum rather than adding syntax or transition rules. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource ('Move a feedback item to a new status') that is unambiguous and distinct from the create/list/search siblings. The parenthetical examples partially duplicate the schema enum, and it doesn't explicitly contrast with siblings, but the action is clear on its own.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is implied by the verb (use it when you want to change a feedback item's status), but there is no explicit when-to-use/when-not guidance and no alternative named. It works with no sibling named as an alternative, but it leaves the agent to infer.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
